It is definitely safe to say that the internet has a bit of a rough reputation right now, and understandably so. For a place that was designed to become the compendium of human knowledge, is now home to a bevy of misinformation. The kind that is even disguised to look as though it is legitimate in nature. Not to mention, there’s a lot of hate being spread on the web, and vitriol as well, since people use its anonymous nature to let loose and say the most horrible things possible, and even the entertainment side of it is starting to deal with some hard negativity. 
​
Since there are some negative voices spreading ugly stuff through the digital airwaves via podcast or webcast. But, despite the troubles we continue to encounter and our concerns, the internet continues to be a vital resource for us all. For there are lessons to be found, there are people we can connect with and positive experiences to be found, and there is still entertainment out there that is wholesome and engaging. In fact, there just so happens to be a podcast out there worth discussing that offers just that, in the most unique and refreshing way imaginable. All by offering fresh perspective regarding a classic television show.

For Wild Nights on the Prairie with Ray Ellin is a podcast that takes the time to spotlight and break down, episodes of the classic and iconic series, Little House on the Prairie. A show that explored life in the 1800s and that some view as topical in nature. But Ray’s show proves otherwise. Since it explores themes that we may have missed during an initial viewing, and human moments that are relatable and powerful to say the least. All of which brings forth a comprehensive and incredible analysis of this show. Wherein we come to learn it was so much more than a fluffy piece set in the West during days gone by, it’s a show about the human condition and it does still resonate today, as evidenced by the other reason that this show is worthwhile.

Because Ray doesn’t do a massive breakdown in a solo manner, he has a guest join him in his analysis, and that leads to some equally as powerful discussions. The kind that are open and honest and explore some of the life experiences that Ray and his guest have endured during their respective journeys and how those experiences relate to the episode. Adding real depth to what Ray is working to accomplish with this show, which is to genuinely showcase how much it reflects the basics of who we are and how important it is to recognize such matters and that makes… for one positive and incredible podcast. One that shines new light on a series that clearly deserves its day in the sun, while exploring so much more. 

Which makes this, a genuinely delightful podcast and one that you should enjoy, first chance you get. Simply because this is indeed everything the internet needs right now, since it is not some carefully curated show designed to sow division and/or push forth an agenda. It is simply a celebration of a show that means a lot to Ray, and a chance to explore the series in a bold new light. While also informing us of the power of entertainment and how it endures and how it connects with us, alongside some amazing discussions about life, who we are and what we learn, and you really cannot go wrong with a podcast that expresses all of that and serves a true breath of fresh air amid the digital rhetoric.

One thing that we can all agree upon, is that the horror genre continues to dominate the pop culture landscape. Because so many horror franchises are still going strong and there are new ones coming to life every day. For people finally understand the wonder of this genre and what it can do for an audience and well, horror is so in demand right now, that it is even sneaking its way into the podcasting world. After all, 2023 saw a bevy of horror themed podcasts pop up and 2024 is starting off with a scary bang, courtesy of Realm Media.

For today marks the release of a new chapter in their horror anthology channel, Undertow, and well… Narcosis is clearly going to be one wild and frightening story. Simply because this is that wondrous horror story that preys upon our most primal of fears. Which in this case, involves isolation, claustrophobia, and our deep-rooted fears of being trapped underwater with no hope of oxygen, along with another surprise. One that we will let Realm explain. For they were kind enough to provide us with all the details on this chilling new podcast, and with that in mind, here is everything you need to know about the nightmare that is… Narcosis.

‘Realm, industry-leading podcast studio and one of the world's
fastest-growing independent podcast networks, today released the first episode for Undertow’s
new season Narcosis, created by audio writer/director Fred Greenhalgh (Locke & Key) and
screenwriter Chris Bernier (Halloween Ends). The season premieres Friday, January 19th, with
episodes releasing weekly.
 
Veronica West never planned to come back to Sinclair. But when her estranged childhood friend
goes missing at sea, Veronica returns to the remote island to lead a dangerous recovery dive –
only to find herself trapped in a series of underwater tunnels with her oxygen dwindling. But
that’s the least of her problems. There’s something unspeakable down there with her.
Something the mainlanders don’t want her to find…
 
Undertow is Realm’s premier horror podcast channel, showcasing original works of elevated
audio horror. Notable past seasons include the chart-topping Blood Forest starring Jack Falahee
(How to Get Away with Murder) and The Sisters starring Mae Whitman (Parenthood).
 
Writer Chris Bernier said, "Collaborating with Fred Greenhalgh and the Realm team -- and
getting to write on a scripted podcast -- was a total creative thrill. I'm blown away by what we've
accomplished in Narcosis. It's both the latest chapter in the longstanding tradition of American
folk horror set in Maine and an extension of the world of weird aquatic horror that New England
is known for.”
 
Creator and Realm’s Head of Audio Fred Greenhalgh said: “We know more about deep space
than the deep sea and so as a launchpad for horror the setting is perfect. Narcosis dives into a
simple question: what lurks below the water, just out of sight, and what might it do to us if given
the chance?”
 
Narcosis episodes will release weekly on all podcast platforms including Apple Podcasts,
Spotify and Stitcher, beginning Friday, January 19. Episodes will also be available early and
ad-free for subscribers to Realm+ and Realm Unlimited.
 
Narcosis was created and written by Fred Greenhalgh and Chris Bernier. Produced by Fred
Greenhalgh and Rhoda Belleza, and executive produced by Molly Barton and John Brooks.

Please enjoy this exclusive sneak peek of Moriarty: The Silent Order, which is available to enjoy on Audible right now!  ​

Stories that are deeply beloved by a loyal fan base, go one of two routes when they come to a close on their own terms. For some… become nothing short of warm nostalgia, wherein fans revisit them now and again to evoke a feeling or a memory of the joyous times when they enjoyed what that story had to offer. While others… become nothing short of legends. For those stories tapped into something special and resonated with audiences on a level so deep… that the story stays with them long after it ends. To the point where they revisit it often to feel that connection and of course, hope and pray for a sequel or something that can at last… keep the wonder of an incredible story going.

But alas, that second route is rare to come by. For endings usually are endings, and if by chance there’s a reunion, return or sequel… it either exists to right a wrong or it is necessary to bring any loose threads left hanging to their proper conclusion. But now and again, you run into a reunion, return or sequel, or expansion story that is everything the fans hope for and more. Something that truly gives new life to the source material, and new chapters that captivate us like before, and it just so happens that an expansion story in that vein is available now through Audible. For the Audible Original, Slayers: A Buffyverse Story, just so happens to expand the widely beloved Buffyverse, in an epic manner, in part by reuniting a great deal of the cast of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

All so they can go on an incredible brand-new adventure. One that takes place ten years after the events of the series finale of the show, where slayers are everywhere and where Spike is working with Clem undercover in the City of Angels to keep the peace. But when he meets a young slayer named Indira, some wild events take place. The kind that brings forth new horizons for this storied franchise and surprises abound. The kind that we won't be covering in this review. For this is a spoiler-free zone, and keeping the details out, ensures you experience the surprises that await on your own, and it also allows for us to address the burning questions on your mind, dear reader. Specifically, how this expansion of the Buffyverse does the franchise justice and takes care of its fans while offering up a story that truly impresses.

All of which it accomplishes, by giving us a story that pays proper tribute to what came before it, while truly giving new life to the saga with the incredible concepts it brings to the table. Courtesy of the fact that Amber Benson penned the script alongside, Chris Golden, and her vast knowledge of the series allowed for her to create the perfect story. One that recaptures the magic of the show and allows for the talented cast that we adore, and in some cases, grew up with, to provide moments that feel authentic, as though we are indeed just catching up with them a decade after the series came to a close. And that, truly does bring forth an experience that doesn’t miss a beat and plunges us right back into a universe we deeply love. Plus, it doesn’t hurt… that the cast truly lets loose in this story. Because each and every one of them, bring their A-game to this Audible Original, and properly recreate their beloved characters to a tee, and with minimal effort it seems. Plus, they deliver their lines with an incredible passion. The kind that further draws you into the story and reminds you at the same time… why everyone loves this franchise so.

Because it was unique, it was special and it remains unlike anything else in entertainment today, and all of those elements bring forth… an essential story for anyone who loves the Buffy franchise. Because this is what the fans have been waiting for, more stories from a world that provides joy and wonder and is filled with incredible characters that resonate with us courtesy of their flaws and their humanity, even when they might not be 100% human. But the best news of all, is that you can enjoy this incredible chapter in the Buffyverse right now. For it is available to enjoy on Audible and we certainly hope you check it out. Because it really does offer something for everyone that was impacted by their brief or extended encounter with Buffy Summers… and the amazing people and otherworldly beings she met during her time in Sunnydale.

To learn more about the creation of this Audible Original, check out our interviews with cast members, Emma Caulfield Ford (Anya and Anyanka), Laya DeLeon Hayes (Indira Nunnelly), and James Charles Leary (Clement ‘Clem’).

Please enjoy this super-sized sneak peek, and synopsis of the Audible Original, Third Eye, which is available on Audible right now!

'Once upon a time, in the magical land of San Francisco, there lived a not-so-ordinary girl named Laurel Pettigrew. She was supposed to be the Chosen One. The plan was simple: she would vanquish the great evil Tybus in an epic battle. But destiny had other ideas, and Laurel's performance in the whole heroics department was a colossal flop.

Now, instead of being a legendary hero, Laurel's the resident pariah of the magic realm. And what’s worse, the dark wizard Tybus swooped in, took over the realm, and forced all supernatural creatures to live under his tyrannical rule. He’s even stripped away the magical powers of those who refused to join his wicked cause. Yeah, everyone hates her. Well, everyone except her two roomies—Sybil, the sassiest diva of a fairy, who could throw shade with the flick of a wing. And Frank, the vampire who rocks a bald spot and a serious paunch. They are the real MVPs, the ride-or-die buddies who have her back, no matter how many colossal fails she racks up.

And it’s all about to get even weirder. Along comes Kate, a Normie who somehow knows more about Laurel than Laurel knows about herself. Turns out, she's got some secrets up her sleeve that might just give Laurel a shot at redemption and a chance to rewrite her destiny.

Third Eye is a side-splitting adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Laurel and her ragtag team of misfits must embark on a wild journey to take down Tybus. It's a treacherous path, but they'll have to put their differences aside and work together. Get ready to laugh, gasp, and cheer as they stumble their way towards an epic showdown.

The full cast includes Felicia Day, Neil Gaiman, Christopher Judge, Carolyn Seymour, Laraine Newman, Wil Wheaton, Danny Pudi, Sean Astin, LilyPichu, London Hughes, Alan Tudyk, Nyima Funk, Hudson Yang, Amir Talai, Sean Giambrone, Jade Hykush, Janet Varney, Lila Sage Bromley, Amy Okuda, Phil LaMarr, Steve Agee, Kate Miccuci, Jeff Lewis, Troy Baker, Harvey Guillen, Weird Al Yankovic, Kristian Nairn, and Jonah Ray Rodrigues.'

It really is quite amazing; how much horror content now pops up this time of year. Because it wasn’t that long ago, that the scariest stuff we enjoyed in popular media, was a handful of movie marathons of some classic slashers and some classic horror features, alongside the grand presentation of It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. But horror’s stunning popularity has changed all of that, and now… the demand for it has prompted every network from every medium to bring forth something chilling for us to enjoy during spooky season, and that includes podcasts as well, as evidenced by today’s announcement.
​
For earlier, Realm let it be known that they too are offering up a ghoulish delight for the spookiest of seasons. By way of a new horror podcast entitled, The Sisters, which is based on true events and boasts a magnificent cast, including Mae Whitman. And well, since Realm loves to be a pioneer in such matters, they’re dropping this podcast on the cusp of spooky season by having it release this Friday, September 22nd. Of course, since you’re now quite curious as to what this amazing horror podcast is going to be about, the time has come for you to enjoy all the details regarding this series, courtesy of Realm. All so you can plan out when best to listen to this tale of terror, and well… if we may make a suggestion… please do so when the sun is still shining.

‘Realm, the world’s largest growing independent podcast network with 6000+ hours of audio entertainment, today released the trailer and announced casting for a new supernatural horror series The Sisters, starring Mae Whitman (Parenthood, Good Girls).

When a mysterious skeleton is delivered without explanation, Frankie has her world turned upside down. Eager to discover its origins, she is sucked into a community of Devil worshippers and occultists, as her own demons come back to haunt her.

The Sisters was created by Brett Neichen & John Scott Dryden of Goldhawk Productions, the production company behind a number of successful audio dramas, such as Passenger List, Mumbai Crime, Audible’s Young Blood, and BBC Sounds’ The Cipher.

Fred Greenhalgh, creator and host of Undertow, said: “The team at Goldhawk has made some of the most gripping fiction podcasts that exist. With Sisters they prove that their storytelling chops extend into horror as they take us on a dark ride through a story where the truth really is stranger than fiction.”
“When I first heard of the real-life sisters, I knew I had to make this podcast,” said John Scott Dryden, Executive Producer. “If you’re a skeptic about ghosts and the paranormal, listening to this podcast probably makes you think again.”

It really is genuinely amazing how people still buzz about the Buffy the Vampire Slayer franchise after all these years. Because one quick glance at the story, should denote a saga that is fun but forgettable. One that would be good to just pass the time on a lazy weekend before moving onto something else. But this saga is beloved by so many, and it continues to come up in conversation because at its core… it is so much more than just a mere horror comedy. For it really did deal with fascinating topics, and it was progressive in nature and featured characters that resonated with us on a fundamental level, and that is why it, endures, and why… it is continuing on through a fascinating new story via a new medium.
​
